  This collection of black-and-white photographs by Peter Burton and Harland Walshaw, accompanied by text by novelist Jane Gardam, celebrates the Iron Coast, a wild and little-known stretch of Yorkshire coastline between the River Tees and the ruined cliff-top abbey of Whitby, where Captain Cook grew up and Laurence Sterne wrote parts of Tristram Shandy , whose fine sands were the setting for Lewis Carroll's The Walrus and the Carpenter , and whose landscape is now dominated by steel-works and the huge ICI chemical plant.
